Pros

international colleagues , first couple years since inception was challenging work, but it all went downhill after that.

Cons

Staff are not respected, neither are their opinions.. Hundreds are laid off in overseas sites and they only protect U.S due to NY state and tax incentives. Jobs are unstable. Turnover is very high ; employee morale is lowest of the low. Operations struggling to keep up with TSMC and UMC technology. Poor production processes as same mistakes being done over and over again in a never-ending circle. Management all newly hired with zero foundry experience. Senior management are poor decision makers who do not value staff. Business foundation is shaky as they only want to make their Abu Dhabi investors happy but not solve the real problems. It is all a facade.

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and the training is actually good training

Cons

If I didn’t know someone that worked since I was going to overnights I didn’t really meet anyone on my team except my manager once. Also I wouldn’t know who to reach out like manger wise if I didn’t know someone who already worked here
